Re: {Classic Rendezvous} Cyclo-cross tire history information solicitation
(Example: Framebuilding)
Hi Dan
I'm too young to have any info for you but I bet Mike Barry Sr. ex of
Mariposa Bicycles fame who used to race cross in England in the 50s and then
brought it to Canada would have some info for you,
You can get in touch with him via his blog here:

Hope that helps
Warmly
